Answer 2

You can still use OCR from the OneNote.

Quoted from Zeyad Rajabi in this thread,

--------------------------------------------------

@henryboy - The OCR component that is part of MODI is not deprecated in Office 2010. In fact, you will be able to use this functionality as part of OneNote. In other words, OneNote has functionality that will allow you to search and extract text from images. However, the other components are being fully deprecated. The MODI print driver can be substituted with the Windows Fax printer driver. The MODI viewer can be substituted by the Windows Image and Fax viewer (albeit the Windows viewer is not as powerful as MODI...you may be able to use 3rd party software here). The Scanning component can be substituted with the 3rd party software that came with your printer/fax or by the Windows Scanning functionality.
